Kevin Hart Movie Now Filming On The Jersey Shore, Seeks "Attractive" Extras

LONG BRANCH, NJ — Netflix crews will be filming in the city of Long Branch for the next two weeks, and actor/comedian Kevin Hart may be spotted around town with them.

Hart is filming his new comedy movie "72 Hours" in Long Branch. The movie portrays Hart as a 40-year-old who tries to save his flailing career by joining a group of twentysomethings on a wild three-day bachelor party weekend, after he’s accidentally added to their group text, according to Netflix.

The movie will be directed by Tim Story ("Barbershop," "Think Like a Man"); Marcello Hernández from "Saturday Night Live" will play the groom’s best man.

The movie will be filming in Long Branch from June 2 through June 15, according to Long Branch city business administrator Charles Shirley. But the movie will also be filming nightclub scenes June 17, June 24 and 26 also in New Jersey, according to the casting agency. But those may not be in Long Branch; their location has not been revealed.

Film crews were spotted Tuesday outside a large oceanfront estate in the city's wealthy Elberon section, the Asbury Park Press reported. Netflix is also using the parking lots at Saint Stephanos Armenian Church and St. Michael's Roman Catholic church as base camps.

Grant Wilfley casting company — which handles many of the casting calls for movies filmed in New Jersey — already put out a public casting call saying it is looking for "attractive extras" to appear in the movie. They are looking for extras who want to appear in nightclub scenes and yacht party scenes. Just Thursday, Grant Wilfley added that they are also looking for people to appear in open-air bar scenes:

"Seeking people to portray attractive 18-35yo #openairbar #patrons for the feature film 72 HOURS," Grant Wilfley wrote Thursday on its Facebook page. "Pay rate: SAG: $216/8hrs. Are you available for the tentative work date(s) 6/17 in New Jersey?"

"Casting calls have already gone out for extras to play clubgoers and yacht partygoers," said the casting agency. "Interested actors can submit their credentials to 72hours@gwcnyc.com with subject line 'FB YACHT PARTY' or 'FB CLUB,' depending on which role they want to tryout for."

And there's another chance to make it to Hollywood this weekend on the Jersey Shore, as "Love Island USA" will host a casting call Saturday at Bar A in Lake Como.

Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service, will host the casting call from 2 to 7 p.m. Saturday, June 8 at the Bar Anticipation (Bar A), 703 16th Ave. in Lake Como.
